Gmail does not work

Hi Guys : Ive searched many forums and have not found
a way to get gmail to work.

Ive posted my config code at the bottom, and am reporting this as a trac bug because trac hangs for SMTP failures of certain types…

Agreed, the SMTP connection errors are hard to debug (I believe this enhancement has already been requested)

Feel free to re-open the ticket if you can provide the required info (Trac version, user name information, …)
